Liverpool maintain Alisson interest

But "if at first you don't succeed" and all that -- the Mirror says Jurgen Klopp will keep trying to sign the Brazil international despite being told he could end up paying more than £45m.

Liverpool continue to monitor 25-year-old Alisson, with Klopp reportedly remaining unconvinced by either Simon Mignolet or Loris Karius, who said on Tuesday he was determined to keep his No. 1 status at Anfield.

But they will face competition, with the Mirror warning that he "is expected to be in heavy demand, with a number of Europe's elite potentially moving for him."

It says Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested, while Juventus will join the race if Gianluigi Buffon chooses to bring an end to his playing days.
